Additive, but with quality please – lessons from the three little pigs
Inspired by the three little pigs, Nicolas Bouduban shows you why quality matters in additive manufacturing in this keynote speech. Those who focus on stable processes rather than quick fixes will pass the practical test.
In additive manufacturing, quality is no accident. Unlike traditional manufacturing processes, whose standards have evolved over decades, additive manufacturing is still in the process of being established and further developed in some areas. This is precisely why clear processes, unambiguous responsibilities, and an understanding of the subtle but crucial difference between quality assurance and quality management are needed.
This presentation is inspired by experiences from the medtech industry, where the highest standards of safety, reliability, and traceability apply to products. The story of the three little pigs illustrates this clearly: a stable foundation is crucial—only those who focus on quality from the outset can protect themselves from unexpected risks in the long term and ensure sustainable success.
